Rejected

What the petition asks
MP’s can claim personal expenses for second homes and meals, when working in London. End this practice which wrongly creates personal wealth for MP’s by providing accommodation, meals and security in a single government owned, serviced accommodation building i.e. a refurbished Grenfell.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
